03/01/2018 - tasting glass @Brouwbar taproom. Clear orange, small white head; Nose is bit grains, fruits, yeast. Taste is has light sour accents, fruits, bit bitterness, bit yeast. Can be more outspoken for me but nice beer anyway.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy orange amber, lacy head. PEaches, mango, pine / spruce, thyme in the nose. Flavor of ripe fruit, estery, citrus. Lightly fizzy. Not much weizen character, just a bit of cloves.

26 April 2018. From tap at Brouwbar. Sample 4/6. Shared with Anke.
Pours clear pale golden with a lasting, small, foamy, white head; little lacing. The aroma contains clove & white pepper, wheat, ripe banana & apple, bitter & herbal hops, yeast, lemon & orange zest. It tastes light wheaty sour and light to medium hoppy bitter with yeast and bready malt in the back. Dry, hoppy, even peppery finish but lingering bread & wheat notes (also retronasally). Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Good take on the style!

1/II/18 - on draft @ Brouwbar (Gent) - BB: n/a (2018-65)

Clear orange beer, creamy dense off-white head, pretty stable, little adhesive. Aroma: banana, malty, bit fruity, some peaches, citrus notes, more fruity, lychee, passion fruit. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: yeast up front, bitter touch, some citrus, bit peppery, spicy. Aftertaste: grassy bitterness, citrus notes, spicy, bit peppery.

Draft @ Brouwbar, Gent. Hazy orange colour, lots of creamy foam. Complex nose of tropical fruits (pineapple, mango), orange peel, bit flowery. Yeasty, banana sweetness. Light wheat tartness. Easy drinkable. Great Hefeweizen.

The extra hoppy version of Brouwbar's Hefeweizen, launched together with their four other first try-outs. Tasted from tap in a tasting flight during the opening day of this enthusiastic new brewpub. Irregularly lacing, moussy, egg-white head over a hazy peach blonde beer - clearly a notch darker and more orangey than their classic Hefeweizen, so clearly not the same malt bill. Aroma of orange peel, camomile, dried mango, straw, honey, cookie dough, canned pineapple, melon, sandwiches, green tea. Sweetish onset, pear, apricot, banana ester, light mango accent somewhere, sourish touch; softish carbo, fluffy, pleasantly soft, bit soapy mouthfeel. Sweetbread- and slightly honeyish malt sweetness makes up the core of this beer, leading to a mildly phenolic finish in which indeed an elegant, delicate citrusy and violet-like hoppiness shows up, yet providing only limited bitterness, albeit a tad more so than in the classic Hefeweizen. Interesting: maltier than the classic version, evidently hoppier, but in a subtle, aromatic way rather than bittering. I personally would not have minded more actual hop bitterness (which goes for most of their beers) but granted, this is an elegant creation, and I cannot immediately think of another 'hoppy Hefeweizen' - at least not in Belgium. Maybe a certain part of Schneider's Tap series served as the inspiration here?
